Property Documentation

background : Item

This property holds the background item.

Note: If the background item has no explicit size specified, it automatically follows the control's size. In most cases, there is no need to specify width or height for a background item.

See also Customizing TextArea.

focusReason : enumeration

This property holds the reason of the last focus change.

Note: This property does not indicate whether the control has active focus, but the reason why the control either gained or lost focus.

See also Item::activeFocus.

placeholderText : string

This property holds the placeholder text.

Signal Documentation

void pressAndHold(MouseEvent mouse)

This signal is emitted when there is a long press (the delay depends on the platform plugin). The mouse parameter provides information about the press, including the x and y position of the press, and which button is pressed.
